[quote=Anonymous]I think the first baby changed our marriage way more than the second. With the first we lost our DINK lifestyle and had to adjust to a new way of life. We were in our early 30s so we were pretty settled into a comfy lifestyle. Had our second 28 months later and while the newborn stage is tough, it wasn’t as big of an adjustment lifestyle-wise. I mean, it now requires more organization and coordinating with two kids (plus double the sick days). But it was more of a logistical change than overhaul of how we lived. And I will echo others that it was a bigger change for DH. He could no longer rely on me to always repack the diaper bag, fold kid laundry, meal plan, etc. It was all hands on deck once number two came, especially when I was breastfeeding (meaning he did A LOT with our oldest for a while). Now we are even considering #3! [/quote]
